Ronan Wolf Lim and his Cranium Fort Toy

My dad got Ronan a new toy called the Cranium Fort. Ronan took his spill like a champ.

ABC Mouse

I was looking for something educational for Ronan to do on the iPad since he only really likes to watch this one video of this girl who drives a Cadillac Power Wheels around the park over and over again.

His older cousin, Dean (Age 6) uses a tablet at school that has ABC mouse and he seems to like it.

I signed up for a 30 day free trial last night and loaded it on all our devices. It looks like it's pretty cool and has achievements and stuff. Ronan is 19 months right now so I'm not sure he understands all that but hopefully he'll get into it and get a head start.

I can't wait till he starts learning how to play some of the complex games I'm into: www.DiceWrath.com.

Ronan Wolf Lim Smashing Stuff

Ronan is doing his favorite thing in the world besides nursing. Smashing Lego towers with a stick.

Ronan Wolf Lim's New Favorite Video: Dancing Pikachus

Ronan is really into that video with the Pikachus dancing to Flo-Rida.

Ronan Wolf Lim at Asia Buffet in Buena Park

Ronan had a stare down test of dominance with another baby over the rights to the steamed crab legs at Asia Buffet.

Ronan Wolf Lim Sword Fight

We spent Sunday at home and Lauren made some really good sourdough bread. I caught strep throat on Monday and spent 2 days off of work and while I'm better, I have sores all in my mouth and tonsils that still need healing.

Roro and I went for a walk around the neighborhood and had a dance party to his favorite songs. We also ended up dueling in the living room.



We spent the rest of the day trying to integrate the new chickens (Melisandre, Ripley, and Luna) with our older chickens (Meg, Furiosa, and Madelyn Corbeau) and the dogs. As you can see from the picture below Nini had no trouble with them.

Later that night we made pizza and watched Game of Thrones. It was a good 6th wedding anniversary that we both forgot.

Ronan Wolf Lim and Mother's Day

Ronan loves chocolate. Abby got tubes surgically implanted in her ears last Monday and she's doing great. We just had Mother's day with everyone at Chelsea's house and had a good time. I made the boys masks out of paper plates and my dad made them paper guns and we played outside. I also made a paper airplane which we attached balloons to. The boys let it go and it went into "space." We all went outside to watch its voyage.

Evan has a video of it, I'll have to get it from him.

Ronan Wolf Lim at Farmer Boys

We took Ronan to Farmer Boys as a treat for us and he started playing with the bowl of the small plastic creamers. We didn't think any of it but we both kind of new it was going to happen but did nothing to stop him. He took one of the small liquid creamer packets, put it in his mouth, and bit as hard as he could and it exploded everywhere.

I know it's probably not a good idea either but he really likes Game of Thrones.

Ronan had a bad fever from teething (we think) on 4/31/16 and 5/1/16 and Lauren had to stay home from work to take care of him. He's been feeling good the past couple days and sleeping better.

Ronan Wolf Lim Doing Some Dance Moves

Here's a video of Ronan in the backyard doing some of his patented spin moonwalks. I'm trying to get more in shape for Roro so I've started playing some basketball in the mornings by myself. I go to the park at 6:00am which is usually empty except old people with walking sticks and married men who want to get away from their wives and make phone calls in the parking lot.

Ronan Wolf playing some Warmachine

I can't wait till Ronan is old enough to play games with me. I've learned a lot of important life lessons from playing complicated deep strategy games and I hope to pass them down to him.

If you've somehow accidentally stumbled to here looking for Warmachine stuff I've got a gaming blog here: Dice Wrath

Ronan Wolf Lim Hard Baby Labor

Roro hard at work

Ronan Dancing to Justin Bieber

My parents came over to visit and brought Roro some shoes that light up and a new toy. He's starting to kind of dance now but only to Justin Bieber's Sorry and Drake's Hotline Bling. He's wearing a shirt that his Grandma, Brenda, gave to him for his birthday.

"I'm All That and Dim Sum"

 

Here's a short little video of him doing some baby moves. We can never seem to catch him dancing on film but we were able to get a couple seconds.

Ronan Wolf at his Grandma's Birthday

This weekend was Ronan's grandma's birthday (Brenda) and we all went to their house for Chinese food and family fun.

Ronan loves his cousin Dean and likes to watch everything he does. He was a little fussy while we ate but was able to keep himself entertained most of the time by running around the house, chasing dogs and cats, and exploring the in-laws house.

Cake Buddies

He did end up biting Abby because Lauren was giving her attention which was kind of weird since we've never seen him do that before. Lauren says she was talking to Abby and Ronan came up, grabbed her arm, and bit her.

It's funny because Hanna will push him but he'll just laugh. I guess he's just fighting for the rights to be the baby of the house.

We got home kind of late around 10:30pm and tried to put him to bed but all he wanted to do was wrestle. He eventually went to bed at 11:30 or so.

Ronan and Sleeping

Roro isn't the best sleeper. He fights it every night. Usually he gets super pissed off randomly about something and then we know it's bed time. When he goes to bed he jumps around, tries to grab stuff, and is generally a super turd.

After he finally does go to bed he usually cries at around 3am and 5am. I'm not a great sleeper myself so once I'm up, I'm up for a while.

This morning I was up at 3am and at 5am I moved into the guest room because I didn't want to bother him.

He's been teething and gets super congested. I can't wait till his teeth are all in!

Ronan - Hands Behind His Back

Ronan does this thing now where he puts his hands behind his back and walks around like that. Lauren and her Dad say that my Dad does the same thing so it must be genetic.

Roro Can Throw a Ball

Ronan has straight hair that sticks straight up like me. It's an Asian thing. He also tends to grow a mullet which is a white thing.

He loves baths and likes to bite the faucet. He's also always constantly dirty so it works out.

Punk Rock Roro

Caged Roro at the Park

Lauren says Roro has no fear at the park and climbs on everything.

Ronan has been throwing balls lately which I'm excited about. His favorite thing is to run outside and shove his hands in the dog water. The chickens aren't afraid of him. He also likes to say, "Uh Oh" and smash the keyboard whenever we're at the computer.

Ronan Wolf and Food

Roro is a good eater and will try most things including handfuls of dirt whenever he gets a chance. We've got 3 chickens now that lay every day but Roro doesn't like eggs very much. He does like meat and chocolate though.

Spaghetti Sad Face

Dinner usually goes like this:

We put Roro in his high chair and cut up some of our dinner and put it in front of him. He eats a bit of it then the dogs swarm him and he starts feeding them. After he's done eating he'll try to escape the high chair and then scream for mommy to hold him. When I try to hold him he will try and smash his fingers into my plate and grab the utensils and finally he will squirm to be let down so he can go to mommy.

He still gets the majority of his food from nursing which is his favorite food of all.

Ronan's 2nd Easter Picnic

This was Ronan Wolf's 2nd Easter Severe/Chandler/Wardle picnic. The first time was when he was only 2 months old so he had no clue what was going on. This year he was old enough to participate in the Easter Egg hunt so the night before we trained him on how to gather eggs so he can get mommy and daddy some sweet sweet candy.

Roro and the kids getting ready to hunt for eggs.

He ended up not really caring about the eggs and just wanted to sit down, open one, and eat the treasure inside. He mostly got bubble gum and Starbursts so it wasn't anything he could have.

The picnic went well. People commented about how little Asian he looked and then Grandma tried to lovingly comfort me and said she thinks his eyes will get slantier when he gets older. Roro got to play in grass and run around for a couple hours before he tripped and fell with a toy and cut the roof of his mouth and bled.

He also had a giant scrape on the top of his head form running and slipping in the patio. (see this post)

During Great Ma's Birthday

We got home from the picnic around 3pm and tried to get him to nap before we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house for Great Ma's birthday but that wasn't happening. I was exhausted from playing with all the kids and just wanted to nap. I had a nightmare where someone was chasing me with a giant wrench and it turns out Ronan was stabbing my face with a toothbrush the whole time I was sleeping.

We ended up going to have birthday dinner for Great Ma and Roro yanked a chair down while he was trying to climb it. He ate a ton of cake and candy.

It was an exhausting but good day.

Posting From My Phone

Being able to post from your phone is pretty cool. Hopefully I can get a lot of my blogging done during my down times.

Here's what my dad set up at their house for when Roro came over.

Hanna's Birthday Party Rocket Ship Launch

Dean and Logan wanted to see a rocket launched into space so I made them one out of paper and birthday balloons. This is some of the fun stuff that I'm excited to do with Ronan when he gets older.

Ronan The Adventure Baby

Ronan Wolf Lim is all boy. He climbs on everything without regard for his safety and runs at full speed wherever he needs to go. Here's a picture Lauren sent me of him and a giant patio burn he got because he skidded across the patio head first.

The second you turn your back he's used a chair to climb on top of a table. Lauren says she took him to the park and he's climbing and going down the slides all by himself.

Just right now he threw something heavy at Lauren's head and she screamed in pain.

The night before he was dancing with his baby toy radio that plays classical music and slammed me in the head with it while I was laying on the floor.

He is and will be a handful.

Ronan Wolf Blog v.2.0

This is Version 2.0 of the Ronan Blog. When Ronan gets older I'm going to let him design his blog however he likes. I'll document the different versions as they change so he can look back and see what he was like when he was younger.

My First Night With Just Me and Roro

Lauren, her sisters, and her mother went to the Loreena McKennitt concert and left me alone with Ronan for the first time ever.

We spent a lot of the evening at the St. Laurent's house with all the kids. Don bought pizza and Kyle was there with his X-box to entertain the boys.

Roro was wild and was making fussleton sleepy sounds so I took him home. He cried and cried till he passed out while I walked endlessly with him strapped to my chest.

I was pretty exhausted myself and fell asleep on the couch with him on me. I was thirsty and wanted to get something to drink so I stood up and he started whaling.

He ended up stopping around 2:00am when Lauren came home. That was the longest night ever. She owes me some super dad points for that one.

I was pretty proud of myself. I don't know if I could do it again though.

He's super needy and when anything is wrong all he wants is mama. I just don't produce enough milk to get him to stop crying.

Hopefully when he's old enough to look back at this he will see our first night together and remember how torturous he was for daddy.

Thank you, Roro. <3

Ronan Wolf's Blog

Mark Lim - My name is Mark and I am Ronan's dad. Ronan is now 14 months old and I really want to get him started learning computers and the internet early so he can troll forums and make stupid memes ASAP.

This blog is going to be written by me at first and then hopefully Ronan will take over and continue blogging when he is able. It's probably not likely considering that I've started a dozen blogs that I have never committed to being consistent with.

The goal of this is to help Ronan with his reading and writing skills, get him familiar and excited with computers and internet,  and enhance his creativity.

Ronan Wolf's Blog Version 1.0

I'm actually going to test this out on some other guinea pigs, (his cousins Dean and Logan) and see if they're into it. I'm sure they can get interested about posting pictures of Transformers and talking about what they want for Christmas. When they're old enough to be embarrassed by it, they can look back and see what they were like as 5 & 6 year olds.

So this is for you, Ronan. I hope you'll use this to learn and gain some enjoyment.
